This sentence in a FAQ could cause you think that A Basin is accepting the Epic Military Pass this season.

Arapahoe Basin has opted to participate in the Military Epic Pass - Veteran/Dependent for the 18/19 season. For any questions about Arapahoe Basin's participation, please contact them directly at 888-ARAPAHOE

[LEFT]

You would be wrong....

Glad I checked with A Basin before making my trip plans. She said that there has been a bunch of very disappointed vets at the ticket windows this year....

Doesn't surprise me if it has anything to do with Vail Resorts. Loveland used to do free season passes for military! Maybe they still do, but that was awesome when I was able to take advantage of that. Was greatly appreciated.

Looks like they now have the Stars & Stripes pass (pick up at the local bases) which looks pretty awesome. I don't think it's free, but it's cheap and gets you:
https://skiloveland.com/stars-and-stripes-pass/
-Membership to Powder Alliance
-3 Free Days at Purgatory
-3 Free Days at Monarch Mountain
-3 Free Days at Powderhorn Mountain Resort
-3 Free Days at Powder Mountain
-3 Free Days at Grand Targhee Resort with lodging (See Details Below)
-3 Free Days at Whitefish Mountain Resort
-3 Free Days at Snow King Resort
-3 Free Days at Red Lodge Mountain (New for 2018/19)
-3 Free Days at Homewood Mountain Resort (New for 2018/19)
-3 Free Days at Ski Cooper (New for 2018/19)
-3 Free Days at Sunlight Mountain Resort (New for 2018/19)
-3 Free Days at Brundage Mountain (New for 2018/19)
-3 Free Days at each (Sipapu, Pajarito Mountain, Ski Hesperus and Arizona Snowbowl)

That should keep you busy this season.

Essential oils.
WTF is so essential about them?

Your contribution to the seller's "revenue stream"? cough cough...doTerra...cough cough. Gotta love how many housewives have their "own business" with these multi-level marketing pyramid schemes. It was Avon, Mary Kay, and Amway when I was a kid. Now the ladies are all about essential oils. Lol.

**Ted Striker** · 10-30-2018, 11:19 AM

essentially it's just oil.

**Meadow Skipper** · 10-30-2018, 05:34 PM

Well, this wasn’t me, obviously, but at the end of a long Antarctic winter someone got really annoyed with someone else who kept revealing the end of books. I pretty much relate to the guy who lost it.

Yeah, screw that. The bastard deserved it.

**wyeaster** · 10-30-2018, 06:06 PM

yeah under those circumstances it's basically psychological torture

On my way to Orlando to work on closing one of the biggest deals I've ever had.

Been going back and forth with my contact about specific meeting time and he wasn't being very responsive.

Just tried him again and I get response from his boss...he's no longer with the company.

Fucking guy knew I was flying down here and nothing from him. He was the pioneer of the movement to replace current supplier with my product.

This is why I drink

People who think you need to reinvent the wheel when a ready and on-point example already exists that you can expand on with a few comments and specifics.

That’s a magic carpet, basically a conveyer belt for the kids instead of a rope tow

For real? I hadn’t seen one with a cover over it before, but guess it makes sense you’d want one in case of a big snow dump.

Thought it was a picture of KQ’s pasture, so wasnt expecting to see ski area equipment.

Having to work with a fuckin’ dummy.

You know what kid? I don’t really want to play 20 questions with you right now. Go the fuck away.

One of the best parts of my job is that all of my coworkers are smart.

Yeah, I'm not especially smart, but I often feel like a rocket scientist at work.

**snoqpass** · 11-01-2018, 09:06 AM

I often work by myself sometimes I’m the smartest one other days im the dumb one

Politician ads.

Selling a car. First the starter goes, now the power steering pump (I think) just failed. F me! I'm about to call that 'cars for kids' deal and just get the thing out of my driveway.

LOL! Oh please no... I don't need snow on the farm yet... still so much to do!

Snoqpass is correct. They just installed that last month. Area is called Bluewood outside of Dayton WA, a 40min drive from my place. It's small but pleasant, at least we have a ski area. Incidentally, it is the second highest base elevation in the state at 4545ft (Mission is the highest at 4570ft).

It is very annoying. I have a 5 day steelhead trip planned in two weeks and there's no way I'm swinging an 8 weight with this arm. Need to learn how to cast left handed...

**jackstraw** · 11-01-2018, 05:31 PM

Kars4kids. Was thinking about donating my car because I'm tired of dealing with it. We've all heard the annoying imo commercials, but if it actually helps kids then that's cool, right? Yeah, no.

Just a religious group being deceptive.
